A tough job, but the news was delivered

New Jersey just went through a major disaster and there al lots of people to thank for helping us all out. You know the usual heroes, police, firemen, utility workers, etc. However there is another person I would also like to thank. That would be my newspaper carrier.

Everyone keeps telling me to get the newspaper online, and I agree that it is a good thing to be able to access the paper online. However during the storm when I didn't have power for six days, and even after the power was turned back on, I still didn't have any TV or Internet for another 12 days. My carrier did make it through day after day and I got all of my papers (even if one or two might have been a day late.) If it wasn't for my paper carrier, I wouldn't have know who won the election or that there was another storm coming at us.

I used to deliver newspapers as a kid, and I know what it was like to have to get up in the morning to have to deliver papers. I also can't imagine how long it took the carrier to get their jobs done with all of the trees down on the road. It must have been a maze out there.

So please thank the newspaper carriers for me and remember them at the holidays, I think they deserve a big tip this year.
